## Resource

385: If you suffer with back pain, spinal pain, headaches, or even digestive issues, this episode unpacks what may be the cause and CURE for your pain. I sit down with Dr. Amir Vokshoor who is a spinal surgeon who takes a Holistic Approach to Spinal Care. He performs disc replacements for his patients BUT always tries to make surgery his last resort when it comes to fixing spinal, neck, and back pain. We discuss the connection between digestive issues and the spine, headaches and the immune response due to cervical issues, if your pain is caused by trauma and how past trauma is deeply connected to the spine, and so much more. Dr. Vokshoor also shares supplements that can help as well as the best way you should sleep if you have back pain. And I also share some personal experiences and my take on healing but I also have to say I learned something new today and that's what I love about hosting this podcast is that I get to sit down with experts and continue learning new things about the body and get to share them with you!   Topics Discussed: → Spinal disc replacement surgery → Who can benefit → Alternatives for spine surgery → Best way to sleep for your back → Why the mind plays a bigger role than we realize → What to expect after surgery → The connection with past trauma and pain → The vagus nerve → Supplements to support As always, if you have any questions for the show please email us at digestthispod@gmail.com.
